A for AAP, A for Anarchy?

“No, no, no… once someone has sat on a hunger strike for a cause, the genuineness
of that cause has been established intrinsically. -AAP Philosophy”

AAP does signify a change in Indian politics. AAP symbolises
a shift in our elections from vote-buying to agenda-selling. It brought
elections to our FB posts and Tweets. AAP made politics, which happened to be a fashion
disaster, a personality statement. Youths, who are often blatantly ignorant of
the party’s agendas, find it hip to be associated with AAP; improves
street-cred. As if being affiliated to AAP renders them some sort of political
righteousness and help them to be perceived as a member of an intellectual segment. It has
become analogous to “Eh Man! I am apolitical” of pre-AAP days. I am not
denying their contributions in Indian politics and I sincerely hope that there
are many yet to come but still there ways do call for some scepticism. There
are the signs that insinuate about the shortcomings of AAP’s approach. Not
everything that AAP is feeding us is healthy. Following paragraph has a satirical
tone and is not factually accurate, however you should try to get the gist of it. If you
are staunch AAP fan, I swear to have nothing against it but, at times, it makes me
wonder.

Of all AAPs accomplishments one that will always be remembered is how after
colonial era INC, it has become the other political party that has organised so
many successful protests and dharnas, only difference being those dharnas often
hampered British economy and these encumber Indian. Furthermore, AAP is so
obsessed with dharnas that it has recently decided to make it an official mode
of communication of the party. Glimpses of this where recently observed when CM
of Delhi decided to talk to its ally in state govt. Congress regarding an issue
with two police officers he had to leave his office unattended and sit at
Rajpath. For AAP there was nothing wrong and unconstitutional for a CM to
resort to agitation and street in the same state where he has been elected and
sworn to instate order.

“They may call us anarchist and all this bullshit. The people will kill those
critics. We believe dharnas are
essential for democracy. They are really flashy and heroic and suit our Tweet
the Toilets marketing policy. ” one of the senior AAP leaders replied to the
media on the BJP’s accusations on being anarchists.

On the other hand, to commemorate AAP achievements, Central
Govt. gave in to AAP’s illegitimate demand. They didn’t give in to Somnath
Bharti’s demands because they were not supposed. Moreover, Indian laws does
permit arbitrary search and even, trafficking laws are there to protect victims and not to criminalise them. But AAP in its self-righteousness has
decided to undermine the law. The
central govt. has also decided to give AAP’s Dharnas a judicial status. After
all, if they were sufficient to prove dereliction of duty on policemen’s part,
they could also very well indict murderer. Oh! Let us just do away with the
judicial procedures, we should just wait and watch which side the omniscient
and the righteous AAP protects for and the justice is done. AAP never bothered
about the inconvenience that was caused to working class commuters when they
held Rajpath at Ransom. To extend its
unconditional support to AAP, Central Govt. has decided to consider dharnas as
a standard of progress of a state as they had once branded Vasectomy as one. The
rookie in the business was the master of the art as AAP's Delhi proved to be the most progressive.

As I stated, AAP is a change, a change which was thoroughly needed. People are
aware, Politicians are awake. AAP is revolutionary but is it evolutionary. In
moments like these we need to introspect whether in all this commotion, the
stability that can ensure development is not being sacrificed.

You look at your smartphone screen and try to calculate how much time will the cab driver take to finally reach your location. You acknowledge that, given the traffic in your city, the time you see on your screen may be quite off. You try to estimate whether you can squeeze in the final mail you want to drop before you call it a day. DROP, as if emails are bombs. They probably are. You click on the red compose button and, before the box opens, try to steal another peak. If ever every microsecond mattered, it is now. You start typing and notice how slow you are. You should have taken that touch-typing workshop in the college. Every 30 secs, you try to steal a peek at the dimly lit smartphone screen. You think you can pull it off. You have a mild sense of achievement and a smile sprinkled over your face. You are just there. You look back at the smartphone screen. The backlight is now turned off. You struggle to open the screen lock with one hand while typing the last line with another. …

Biting winds pierce by Ripping my soul into shreds Cold night that muffles me Whispers only of winter ahead. I dare not hope for a fireplace Nor heat of a rug do I aim I seek that flickering candle-light To help me have some warmth in dream Battered body, tattered soul Demand only one reply With goals lost and dreams crushed Why, o man, you still not die?

The above poem is merely a rephrasing of Robert Frost's poem A Question with my words and absorption of the core idea. The poem throws light on the immense pain and suffering that accompanies almost everyone's life; then, enquires meaning and worth of such an existence. Here is Robert Frost's original poem which is more lyrical and succinct. A voice said, look me in the stars, And tell me truly, man of earth, If all the body-and-soul scars Were not too much to pay for birth.

"I desire things that will destroy me in the end" -- Sylvia Plath While looking out of my balcony, I can always spot a single star in the sky. Probably with the pollution level in Bangalore , the dim ones are hard to spot. If it was southern sky, I could bet it was Sirius. But I don't know what direction it is in and I am too lazy to make any efforts to find out. Moreover the name of the star does not matter. However, it has a similar symbolic significance for me as green light had Fitzgerald's Gatsby. A dream well conceived , clearly visualised and yet beyond grasp. A dream thoroughly cherished and yet unattained. This brings me to another haunting question. How do people start dreaming whatever they start dreaming about? Frankly, it's Gatsby who comes to rescue. Gatsby's dream incidentally was a outcome of exposure to the girl( I wish I remembered her but I don't even care about finding right now) . We can't dream of things we cannot envisage. I t…

About Me

I believe nothing is definitive and thus, I can't really describe how I am. In actuality, how I am to X will certainly differ from how I am to Y. However, due to concurrence of opinion a majority of such X and Ys (my friends) I am forced to believe that I do possess certain traits which is witnessed by most of them. It is indisputable that I am more serious than I should be.
I am dogmatic(they all say and I always disagree, which eventually confirms their acquisition). I am weird and boring(disputable). However everything mentioned can be false as well. It depends on how much you know me..and frankly speaking you never know enough.
